STRs offer an experience that can't be replicated.

hello,Also just analyzing a new construction property with lower builder rate offer of 4.875% if FHA.

What they will offer you is an appliance package, or closing cost help, or a low fixed rate loan. 

Finally found this one and took advantage of the low interest rates by winning the bidding war with an offer slightly above asking price.

I suggest listening to the BP podcasts and reading through the blogs and books they offer.

Some custodians may offer access to platforms with investment opportunities, as well.

I offered to break the lease but tenant did not take it. 

The usual way, but not the right way, to try to buy a rental is by finding a property on the MLS, where agents congregate, make an offer and then try to get financing to buy the property.

Start anywhere—offer to assist, intern, whatever it takes—and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

Follow new listings closely and be definitive in scheduling tours and making offers.
